Let there be light

It isn't coming, it is here. The massive switch worldwide from incandesants to LEDs is going to change things in many wonderful ways. In an unusual twist not seen since public water and sewer it will be the poorest that benefit most. Villages in the third world will have extra hours to perform work that raises their standards of living. When not working; reading/learning. Great news. What about we first world slobs? Well since we waste so much lighting the night for no good reason and many bad reasons at least we won't be weasting as much energy while doing it. Hopefully the switch will include smart sensors so that the evils of light pollution can be likewise diminished. And since it often confuses me click this reference page discussing lumens, watts and such.

Off Topic but what do you think of FGP for hold long run or pump and dump. Considering buy for cost averaging.

Raised dividend yesterday, Good cash flow, Natty cheapLooks like the stock price damage is almost done. Wait for a bottom? Yeah, I'm going to buy some probably before ex-div date.

FGP has legs in the right direction. This the right place how about a stock story and hot money.

I'm underwater on AVD but lower input costs and expense trimming are paying off. The kicker is a huge short position relative to float.
